SCRANTON – Brittney Ehrlich of Sinking Spring, along with other students members of Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine’s chapter of the American Women’s Medical Association, recently organized the school’s annual Rose-A-Palooza to benefit the Women’s Resource Center. During the Rose-A-Palooza event, students, faculty and staff at Geisinger Commonwealth are encouraged to remember someone they appreciate and then purchase roses to send them in order to promote healthy relationships.
